Don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I thought it was pretty awesome: [hide] [/hide] I guess you could say that's one tenacious potato.

Interestingly, after having ortho mode enabled on the custom client with one of my throwaway accounts, when I logged on today to play on the normal client it was still in ortho mode. I wonder if Jagex can even track what display mode you're in. I wouldn't want to get banned for being naughty and using stuff only developers normally have access to.

What the hell? Why is the Ice Queen even on that list? You can already "revisit" that "boss". And why are they listing each part of the Culinomancer separately? Shouldn't we be able to fight the entire Culinomancer instead of just one part of it?

/Facepalm I opened up the case on my computer and was immediately greeted by a cloud of dust. I should have figured it was dust that was causing my hardware problems... yeah, anyway needless to say after I cleaned it my computer stopped freezing. At least for now. Only time will tell if that was actually the whole problem but... Let this be a lesson to all lazy people like me: clean the dust out of your PC periodically.

[hide]Yeah that was a pretty low blow. But when I smuggled the third one out after the test, right before you get on the elevator with it she kills it and says "I think that one was about to say 'I love you'". FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-[/hide]

OK, it's definitely not software. -.- My computer won't start up at all anymore. Well it will, but instead of loading all I get is a continuous "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" sound. When it does actually start up properly it freezes up very quickly even before it gets to the OS proper... it even froze up when I was looking at the BIOS. So since I already ran memtest86 with no problems it could either be the PSU, the GPU, or the godamned motherboard (which always seems to be a candidate for ALL hardware problems).

Yeah, it's obfuscated. I just downloaded runescape.jar and poked around in there with winrar and there are class names like aa.class ab.class and etc. But yeah, I'm sure specific command names are string literals. And if you find the class responsible for handling developer commands, it shouldn't be too difficult to backtrace and figure out where the restriction on their use is. Edit: Out of curiosity I ran the runescape.jar class files through the jad program I got from the Minecraft Coder Pack, and found that the developer commands are in mg.class. Interestingly, the commands players can usually use lie within a special try/catch block while the rest lie outside of it... hmm I wonder what would happen if you moved those commands inside that block? :twisted: ...though there's probably no way I'm going to be able to recompile it, because the derpish jad encountered over 1000 errors while decompiling :lol:

One particularly funny bit that I liked. [hide=Spoilers]GLaDOS: Well, this is the part where he kills us. Wheatley: Hello! This is the part where I kill you. Chapter 9: The part where he kills you. Achievement unlocked: The part where he kills you. [/hide]

Wow there are a lot of bugs with 1.5, and 1.5_01 not only didn't seem to fix many of them, it created a whole bunch of new bugs. Well it dosen't look like I'll be updating my mods for quite a while. There will almost surely be a 1.5_02 and maybe even a 1.5_03 at this rate.

[hide=Spoilers] I just did a playthrough with dev commentaries... I'm pretty disappointed in them now. They said that originally, Wheatley had turrets and mash plates, but it was "too punishing" for playtesters. Also they removed the masher plates from most test chambers. And particularly jarring - remember that part where Wheately is like "Aristotle vs... MASHY SPIKE PLATE!". Well guess what. You can shoot either portal at the wall segment, and it will still work. They hard coded it to where if you shot the wrong one (which should normally kill you) it would automatically place a portal for you underneath the beam. Basically they made a ton of changes to the game to cater to people who apparently don't like challenges. *Sigh* Oh well, it was an amazing game anyway. And we always have those talented and sadistic fans to create mind bending puzzles. [/hide]

http://www.mediafire.com/?ytgi9pip7o5apk6 Only two minidumps in there. Most of the time the computer just black screens, restarts, or freezes without actually crashing and producing a minidump.

Oh, you mean Notch didn't spend 6-7 hours today playing Portal 2 like I did? Drat. Well, once Mod Loader and MCP are done updating I guess I have some work to do :D Speaking of Portal 2, I really hope iChun implements the tractor beam thing and the hard light bridge into his Portal mod. That would be epic.

Meh, and here I was thinking that the death interface would protect players whose power went out. Can't really run back to your grave if your computer isn't working, can you?

True that. All 33 of mine. 10 of which I have to update myself.

Yeah I remember one time I used Cheat Engine to give myself 2b coins :D Of course as soon as I closed cheat engine the illusion disappeared :-P

These game files are taking longer to decrypt than they did to download... graaah I wanna play it now! So much for the efficiency of pre loading...

Lately my PC has been either blue screening, black screening, freezing, or randomly restarting. The funny thing is, this only seems to happen near the startup. If it gets past a certain point, say 10 minutes without a total system failure, it won't happen again until I restart the computer again. At first I thought this was a memory problem, so I ran a memory diagnostic but it came out fine. Should I run it again or what? I also ran a scan that found and repaired several corrupt system files, but that didn't fix the problem. Obligatory specs: System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64x Build 7600 CPU: Intel Core 2 Qual CPU Q9400 2.67 Ghz RAM: 8 GB RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 230

That looks awesome. Maybe you can get struck by lightning? :ohnoes: That would be really awesome if rain was a precursor to finite water. I've always wanted to mine a huge underground cavern and drain an entire lake...

*Sees herblore cape* Oh, so that's why.

Thanks a bunch, it seems to work great: Now to get working on the (pseudo) physics.

I figured this would go here because I need to figure this out for a mod I'm writing for MineCraft. How do you determine the length of the arc s given only the radius r, and the lengths t and e? Basically the player has free movement in the X and Y direction and the Z (vertical) offset e is calculated by applying the pythagorean theorem to the xy offset(t) and the radius ( sqrt(r^2 - t^2) = e). I need s to determine the resistance the player encounters when attempting to swing to the given point. Of course I also still need to calculate X and Y momentum, but I can't even start on that until I figure this out.

Wow there's actually something worse than Mobilizing Armies. At least you could AFK that... and I'm pretty sure that only takes ~25 hours or so to get to 300. But of course because of the shield spell anyone who wants to compete in PvP is now going to have to spend 40 hours grinding. Or botting :lol: By the way does anyone know yet weather you can use the shield spell alongside vengeance? Or do you get the cooldown message on the shield spell after activating vengeance?

Wow, clicking the $1499 thing several times = seizure teim.

... Also you MUST delete the META-INF folder inside minecraft.jar or the checksum will fail and you'll get a black screen.

I finally got around to playing BioShock. I bought the game for $5 on steam a while back, but at the time my PC's graphics card was apparently too noob to run the game. So I made a run of it on easy mode. Beat the game in one day. I gotta say I really enjoyed the game. Now to do it in hard mode...
